As with all essential oils, never use them undiluted. Do not take internally unless working with a qualified and expert practitioner. Keep away from children. If applying an essential oil to your skin always perform a small patch test to an insensitive part of the body (after you have properly diluted the oil in an appropriate carrier).

This fine oil comes from the pressed nuts of the Macadamia tree. It is a priceless delight for the skin and has proven itself to be one of the best regenerative oils available.

It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and closely resembles sebum (the oil naturally produced by one's skin to help protect it). Macadamia oil is a fabulous, protective oil with a high absorption rate and has been successfully used as a healing oil for scars, sunburns, minor wounds and other irritations.

I buy my Organic Macadamia Oil from Mountain Rose Herbs. I store it in a dark pantry where it can last for 10 to 12 months. It is an unrefined oil that is sensitive to light and will degrade quickly if not kept in a cool dark place.

Place the Atacora Essential Baobab Seed Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Emu Oil, Shea Butter and Beeswax in a clean stainless steel pot set over a double boiler. Allow the beeswax to fully melt into the oils and come to 120 degrees. Add in the Emulsifying Wax and Stearic Acid. Allow to melt completely. Place the Distilled Water and Xanthan Gum into a clean glass measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute. Slowly pour the hot liquid into the oil mixture, whisking gently. Remove from heat and continue to whisk for several minutes to slightly thicken. Add in the Grapefruit Seed Extract, Neem Oil, Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Essential Oil. Mix well. Transfer lotion to desired sterile containers and allow to cool completely (lotion will greatly thicken up after totally cooled). Use within 3 months. *store in fridge for best results and fill a 1 ounce container with lotion as needed.
